New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Podcast
Episode 173 - Amanda Chung
On part 2 of this week's episode, we talk with New Yorker cartoonist, Amanda Chung. Amanda's first cartoon in the New Yorker appeared in the Nov. 20, 2023 issue. Her cartoons have also appeared in Air Mail, The Weekly Humorist and other publications. Before being published, Amanda contacted the podcast and Vin offered to collaborate with her. It's been a successful collaboration and we discuss the dynamics of it during her interview.
Amanda mentions a few resources that have helped her become a successful cartoonist. Here are links to a few of them:
